Art Museum · Downtown Scottsdale · 24 tips and reviews
JK Grence: Free admission all day Thursday! Be sure to check out James Turrell's skyspace "Knight Rise", one of just a few Turrell skyspaces open to the public.
JK Grence: A stroll through this magnificent garden is well worth the $5 admission. Or, get membership for $30 and you can bring a friend for a whole year!
JK Grence: Every hour on the hour (weather permitting), watch a jet of water shoot 300 feet in the air. During festivals, it goes 650 feet! Bellagio it ain't, but it's still worth a stop if you're in the area.

JK Grence: The burger is one of the best in town. Visit on Wednesday for a burger and a draft beer for only $10. It's a screaming deal if ever I saw one.
